Review of SIA Scotch blended whisky and $10 discount code for US based customers.

Carin Luna-Ostaseski - SIA Scotch Blended Whisky Discount Code

SIA (pronounced "SEE-a" and meaning SIX in Gaelic) is a Scotch blended whisky which was created by Scotch whisky enthusiast Carin Luna-Ostaseski.

Carin set out to create an approachable, refined blend that would appeal to a young modern audience. She wanted to create a whisky that was easy to enjoy, whether taken neat, with ice or in a long drink.

The whisky had a very unique start to life, it was crowd-funded two-years ago on Kickstarter.com by Carin. Carin then found a partner, Lauren Shayne Mayer of Spirit Imports Inc. Lauren introduced her to a few possible distillers and she choose the Glasgow based family firm Douglas Laing, who I am sure you are all familiar with. Douglas Laing created SIA based on the tried and tested blend which Carin had put so much work into.

What Douglas Laing has bottled for Carin is a premium Scotch blended whisky with a 40% malt whisky content and 60% grain whisky content. The malt whisky content is 50% Speyside, 40% Highland and 10% Islay whisky.

Bottled at 43% ABV, SIA is currently only available in the US priced $50, the brand is currently running a promotion offering Free Shipping if you live in or want to ship to CA, FL, IL, MD, NJ, NY, or DC. Or if you’d like to send a bottle to any other state, they are offering you $10 off of your order.

For both of these discounts, simply visit www.reservebar.com and add the code SIASCOTCH at checkout!
 

SIA Scotch Blended Whisky Review


William Morrison's Tasting Notes:

Nose: Gentle lemon and vanilla with just the slightest whiff of smoke in the background.

Taste:  A creamy mouthfeel with a perfect sweet malt and sharp grain balance. The soft mildly sweet creamy vanilla that was promised on the nose leads the way followed by some zesty lemon and mild spice. Some grassy barley and a very delicate touch of smoke.

Finish: Lemon citrus gets together with the fresh grass, mildly drying and slowly fading oak spice, trace of tobacco and a touch of bitter toffee.

Comment: A smooth refreshing gentle blend. The lemon and vanilla notes are a delight and a lovely touch of spice. An very easy to drink enjoyable blend.

SMW Blended Whisky Score 88/100
